Manchester United's youth team is experiencing changes, with discussions underway between Arsenal and two of their players, James Scanlon, a winger, and Habeeb Ogunneye, a full-back. Last season, both Scanlon, aged 19, and Ogunneye, aged 20, were temporarily assigned to clubs in League Two. Further experienced Under-21 players may also depart from United prior to the transfer window closing on 1 September.
